Lindsay J Wallace of Missouri?

Question

I need helping the parents of Lindsay J Wallace and his wife. One census says his name is Linsey and another says Lindsey. His estimated birth date is between 1829 - 1833. The census says he was born in Missouri. His wife is listed as Lucy Ann Wallace. Her estimated birth date is 1833 - 1835. Their children are Rutha Wallace, Benjamin Wallace, Martha J Wallace and Albert Wallace. They got married on July 18, 1853.

Answer 1

Questions linger as  to Lindsay's preferences. Go to www.washethatway?.com for details!

Answer 2

Looks like Linsey lived in Cape Girardeau (that's where his wife is found) before moving to Lawrence.  The Wallace's that are in Lawrence in 1860 were in Cape Girardeau in 1850 so there was probably a county line change.  The only one that is of Linsey's age is William L son of Nancy.  Now there is a Linsey J West in 1850 Johnson Co, MO. It could be that Linsey West changed his last name to Wallace.

In the off chance that Linsey changed his last name or was living with another family and the census taker put them all under the last name of West:

Something happened that caused this family to scatter before 1860.

Answer 3

I found Lindsay and his wife and their family in this same town in 1860, could his mother have been Nancy?  :

Sarah and Nancy were living next door to a James and Jane Wallace, both 27, and their 3 young kids.  Might be a possibility, anyway!

This could be another possibility, yet it shows Lindsey was born in TN:
